T's Lunch Boxes and the Obsession with Everyday Trivialities

Baby-size rice ball
It has been quite a task to put T to bed. Even if he is obviously sleepy, he always shows this urge to stay awake. He does everything to distract my attention from putting him to bed and everything to keep himself busy and therefore sober. He would explore every corner in the bedroom, such as taking diapers piece by piece from one place to another. He would bring me as many books as he wants to ask me to read and simply wander away to find another task to keep himself occupied without a single intention to listen. We are quite amused by his persistence and wonder why he is so eager to not to fall asleep.
